Butcher age??

[Cluck_Cottage_Nl]

Hi,
I was wondering what is the earliest age anyone butchered their broilers? I have broilers now and needing to butcher early as possible due to time frames issues. Anyone ever butcher at 4 weeks?
Thanks in advance for any information & advice

You won't get much, but yeah, it's possible

Thank you, I'm hoping to push the dates and do 5 weeks, I have never done any under 8 weeks before.

I have done 6 weeks before since it's just my husband and I. It was about the size of a Cornish hen from the grocery store, maybe a little bigger. That gives us a filling dinner without left overs so when I raised broilers I preferred to wait until at least 8 weeks if not 10. Good luck!
